...how many do we really need? As of now, I believe I counted 24 parties. I must admit that during the last decade I got more and more involved into learning about the USA politics and discovering which party was more adapt to my beliefs. By the time it was election time, I never had a doubt who I was going to give my vote to. The USA are very basic, it's either one way or the other. They have two main parties (the rest are pretty much not even counted for), so it simplifies when it's time to go voting.
Now I find myself back in Italy, a place that is my home by birth, but that I know maybe too little about. I know the main parties obviously as I have been always very well informed on politics since a young age. However now I have been doing my research, because I don't like just randomly giving my vote away. I'm one of these person that believes that every single vote counts. Not only the Italian government is going through a very rough moment, to add more confusion there are way too many parties! Since I left some have been added and some changed their name a few times, to get a refreshed look... This is a nightmare in my opinion! I have followed quite a bit of debates and I think they are all full of BS! It makes me mad that I don't know who I want to vote for. Why is such a beautiful country so rotten at its core?
Last night I went to a very fun dinner-party. It was sponsored by a political party, they had a few simple but good speeches. What was very interesting and entertaining is that to cause the media to talk about them and do their campaign in the most unique and creative way... they are using drag queens! Now I'm sure that a few of you are thinking "That is perfect for you! You love being around queens!". He he he, that is true. And I did have a blast, we danced all night as the popular and colorful drag queens played DJ. They are using this tactic of satire to ridicule the whole system. Unfortunately dancing and a few laughs does not conquer my vote. I need to see and know more!
I know for sure who I will NOT sign for. But weeks are going by and I need to make up my mind by March 28th!!! Sometime I feel like the Italian government system is like a circus, like a big circus in a Fellini movie...
